Lyrics:
(Chorus:)
Everything is free at the library
If you get it back on time (2x)
Well, I’m not rich - I don’t have a lot
But there is one resource that I have got
It’s my library card - I carry it around
And when I need something, here’s what I’ve found:
(Chorus)
They’ve got books about countries across the sea
Books about ancient history
When I’ve got homework, or I just wanna know
The library is the place that I go
(Chorus)
They’ve got much more than lots of great books
Go to your library and take a look
They’ve got computers, audiobooks and CDs
They’ve even got videos and DVDs
(Chorus)
How can all this stuff be free?
Well, it’s really paid for by you and me
When we pay taxes, we pool our funds
and make libraries available to everyone!
(Chorus)
